Which strategies can be used to solve this problem?

A new company sold 4,284 pairs of boots in its first year, 3,726 pairs in its second year, and 2,125 pairs in its third year. How many more pairs did the company sell in the second and third year together than in its first year?

Choose all answers that are correct.

A.
Work backward. Add the amount of pairs sold in the second and third year together. Then subtract this amount from the pairs sold in the first year (4,284).

B.
Draw a diagram.
Draw 3 circles and write the number of pairs sold for each year. Cross out the circle with 4,284 in it. Circle the other 2 circles and add up the amounts in the circles.

C.
Use logical reasoning.
Combine the number of pairs sold in the second and third years (3,726 + 2,125). Then subtract the pairs sold in the first year (4,284) from the sum.

D.
Translate into an equation.
(3,726 + 2,125) – 4,284 = p

Answer 5

choose all that applys

Answer 6

@princess1990, what are your thoughts regarding this problem?

Answer 7

my answer for this one is c and d

Answer 8

am i right

Answer 9

Why only c and d? What's wrong with A and B. Try explaining.

Answer 10

ok well...

Answer 11

ok let me think

Answer 12

because you have to have a greater amount to subtract a smaller amount from it, and the other one is saying that your subtracting a larger number from a smaller number. and the circle one isn't even doing any subtraction.

Answer 13

right

Answer 14

We know that B is definitely not correct, but do you think you could explain to me the significant difference between A and C?

Answer 15

i did

Answer 16

i ont know how to explain itno other way

Answer 17

Take a closer look and A and C first. Then describe to me the similarities and differences between them.

Answer 18

i am honestly dumb right now and i only know i came up with c and d

Answer 19

Can you tell me what A is asking us to do?

Answer 20

they are telling us to work backwards

Answer 21

And what does working backwards involve?

Answer 22

Work backward. Add the amount of pairs sold in the second and third year together. Then subtract this amount from the pairs sold in the first year (4,284).

Answer 23

You copy and pasted that, but yes. Add the amount sold in the second and third year together, then subtract that amount from that which was sold in the first year. If we did that, would we get a different answer from the one we got for C?

Answer 24

so is it c and d and no i did not copy and paste dont know how to do that

Answer 25

Here's what we'll do. Calculate the answer you got for C. Let me know what you get, then post it here.

Answer 26

can u tell me if i am right or am i wrong

Answer 27

I will in a minute, but first calculate what you got for C.

Answer 28

i dont know that what i came up with it and what with the 3rd degree here i just need help

Answer 29

How do you know that C and D are correct if you don't know how to compute the numerical answer?

Answer 30

i just know can u just tust me

Answer 31

Do you have a calculator with you?

Answer 32

i do mental math in my head my mind is the caculation

Answer 33

So then what is the numerical answer to the given problem?

Answer 34

just what do u need me to caculated and i will give u the aswer

Answer 35

How many more pairs did the company sell in the second and third year together than in its first year?

Answer 36

add them toghether

Answer 37

Perform this operation: (3,726 + 2,125) – 4,284

Answer 38

421,567

Answer 39

How did you get that?

Answer 40

i did what u told me to do

Answer 41

Let's try adding just 3,726 + 2,125 first. What do you get for that?

Answer 42

5,851

Answer 43

Okay, great...

Answer 44

so what the next step u act like i am pure stupid

Answer 45

Now what is

5,851 - 4,284

Answer 46

1,567

Answer 47

Yes, that is the numerical answer to the question. So D is correct. We just have to figure out which of the other options A, B, and C would give us the same answer we got for D.

Answer 48

ok

Answer 49

You said C would also give us the same answer. I agree with that, but now we need to figure out if A or B would give us the same answer or not.

Answer 50

the other one is C

Answer 51

so its C and D

Answer 52

ok well gonna tag u in agian o have another question for u to check

Answer 53

Well, actually, C and D aren't the only correct answers.
